History of the Dukes of Normandy by William of Jumieges. Roger of Beaumont [aged 26], having overcome his adversaries, gave thanks to God for the victory, and throughout his whole life strove earnestly to do good works. Among these, he built on his own land the monastic abbey at Préaux, and he always remained faithful to Duke William against all others. For this reason he became more exalted than all his ancestors. For he married Adelina, daughter of Waleran, count of Meulan; and by her he begot two sons, Robert [aged 1] and Henry, who afterward became powerful counts1. Robert indeed, after his uncle Hugh, flourished as count of Meulan for more than twenty-seven years; and Henry received from King William in England the county of Warwick. After the aforesaid slaughter in which Roger of Tosny and Robert of Grandmesnil and many others fell, Richard [aged 26], count of Évreux, son of Archbishop Robert, took to wife the widow2 of Roger of Tosny, and by her begot William, who now rules the people of Évreux. And his [Richard's] brother [William [aged 36]] took as his wife Hawise, daughter of Giroie and widow of Robert of Grandmesnil.
Rogerius vero de Bellomonte, superatis adversariis, victori Deo gratiam retulit, et in omni vita sua bonis operibus insudare studuit. Inter quæ, monachile cœnobium in fundo suo Pratellis construxit, et Willelmo duci contra omnes fidelis semper exstitit. Quapropter omnibus avis proavisque suis sublimior effectus est. Nam Adelinam, Waleranni comitis Mellenti filiam, uxorem duxit; ex qua duos filios, Robertum et Henricum, magnæ potentiæ postea comites procreavit. Robertus quippe post Hugonem avunculum suum comes Mellentis plus quam viginti septem annis viguit; et Henricus Willelmi regis in Anglia commitatum Warwik promeruit. Post præfatam cædem in qua Rogerius et Robertus de Grentemaisnil et alii quamplures ceciderunt, Richardus Ebroicensis comes, filius Roberti archiepiscopi, uxorem Rogerii de Toenia sibi in matrimonio assumpsit, ex qua Willelmum, qui nunc Ebroicensibus principatur, genuit. Willelmus vero frater ejus Hadevisam filiam Geroii relictam Roberti de Grentemaisnil sibi junxit.
